    2016 Witham Mayor Portrait

    We have just created the 2016 Witham Mayor Portrait, which as ever is a great local honour.

    Patrick Horner is the 18th consecutive Mayor of Witham, Essex, that David has created the Mayor’s Portrait for. Maybe we should call it a coming of age!! Eighteen years ago the brief was to closely match the previous portraits and we have kept the background especially for this job! Witham Art & Framing Centre  provide the framing and they know which frame and mount to use. This keeps the run of portraits looking consistent.

    Witham Town Mayors Portrait

    After photographing Bill Rose a couple of months ago with the rest of the Town Council,  David was delighted to be asked to take this year’s Official Portrait.  A picture of Bill was required to be framed and added to the wall in the Council Chamber along with all the other past Witham Mayors. Although David has done this many times previously and can almost do it his eyes shut, it still feels like a great honour to be involved with the Mayor’s Portrait. Pictures which will be there for many years as part of the Town’s history.
